Pros

Flexi leave Good internal courses Documented codebase Subsidized meals Free transportation

Cons

Company encourages long working hours.

Substandard pay and hike (if you are a college hire, your hike will likely only match the base pay of next year's batch).

RTO plan is a complete mess in India, and there is no option for permanent remote. Most employees do not adhere to the 3-day in-office policy; it gets depressing sitting alone in the office.

Attrition is trickling down from upper management, especially in AWT. Most teams are understaffed.

Highly regulated trading. Any trade from your demat account has to be pre-cleared by the company.

Advice to Management

Support remote work, up the pay to industry standards, implement better work hour policies, and at least try to retain talent.
